Thank you, thank you, thank you! I just spent a couple of hours trying to figure out how to shift things over to the left because I had a huge, blank column on the left-hand side. You've just helped to resolve a lot of frustration. :)

Thank you so much. This is just the information I was needing. I do have another question, and I'm not sure if you will find it here... Occasionally when I post a particular topic, I will lose a couple of followers. I always wonder who I lost and because I've so many, I can't figure it out. Is there any way to tell who stopped following me? I often wonder if I offended them, etc. Thank you again for help. Now I just need to resize my header. One thing always leads to another, doesn't it?

My aim is to have screen filling sized photos on my photoblog.I'm using the Awsome design with a few changes.

I have tried the width slider at between 900 pixels and full width. The photos looks good but I cannot get them to centre on the screen. If you take a look at this test blog of mine, you'll see how there's just too much space over to the left.

My TEST BLOG is HERE: http://aggtestblog.blogspot.com/

My REAL BLOG can be seen by clicking on my name as poster of this message. This is the blog that I want to apply these changes to, and then I'll be able to link larger photos from my Flickr account.

Another related question:The width slider in the template designer in Blogger has a maximum of 1000 pixels. I presume it's alright to use this width, otherwise it wouldn't be available. But does this mean that at 100 pixels, some viewers with smaller screens will have to scroll?

@Andrew Graeme GouldI'm not sure if 1024px is enough. Don't forget the vertical scrollbar on the right of your browser, and the frame on the left, I say at least 30px there.The best way to find out is by using an online tool that checks how your blog looks like on different resolution. Try this one: Mark Horrell - Browser screen resolution checker.I hope that helps

I link my photos to my Blogger blog from my Flickr account, and I've now worked out that the Large link size there, which is 1025 px wide, is far too big to display even on a 15.6" screen. I was originally using Flickr's link for Medium 500 px width images, and felt it was too small, but it was the largest share link size from Flickr that would fit in the template at the default setting.

I can see from that resolution check page that a viewer on a 10.1" screen would see the main blog are very well. They would have to scroll only to see the sidebar (also adjustable), and I think that's a satisfactory compromise.

I hope this test of mine will be of use to other Blogger/Flickr users, too.Thanks once again, and all the best...

Finally! I have found a way to widen my blog! I have been searching and trying for months with no results.. I was never able to find the heading wrapper etc in my html. With your help I changed the setting width beyond the adjustable range, from 1000 to 1200. Thank you so much!!

Hi Greenlava,I do some width adjustment to my blog. But now it looks like the changes affect the menu bar. Instead of being in a normal single horizontal tab, it become double and in perfect mess. How to fix it?healthybeautifulblog.blogspot.com
